This was at the tail end of last year. He said he would love to get his kids one and hopefully would get enough together to do so for Christmas this year.

A couple of months ago his eldest son knocked on my door saying there was something wrong with his dad and I rushed in, I gave him CPR until the ambulance crew arrived and they took him to hospital, the next day they turned life support off and he did not make it through and will be missed by all.

To honor him I decided to reach out current and past sponsors and see what would be possible to try to organise the rig he wanted his sons to have, so a Big massive shout out to all involved who helped support this project and help me finance it through donation of the parts. So a big thank you to the sponsors listed below, you are true saints for stepping up and helping bring a little bit of joy to two young boys that have lost their father.

I only ask one thing of anyone that likes this or fancies sharing some of the images as I have seen some of my other builds floating around on social media, please keep anything away from social media as I will not be even sharing on my own pages and only adding pics to groups that I know they will not see itís for them, or belong too.. This is a going to be a surprise for them and we are going to set it all up so they will first put eyes on it when they get home from school once itís done.

Thank you to Liquid.cool for supplying the fluid a bow to you guys too.

So let us start off with the first parts of this build, the case, psu and the gpu.

I will gather from this photo alone you will see that I have gone down the mini ITX route as I know their mum wonít want too much space taken up.

This case is Perfect for the build as it fits the small footprint in mind but also supports watercooling, although not the sort of stuff I want to put into the build lol, but hey I donít see making it all fit being a big issue.

Also from Lian Li is the neat little PE Ė 750 SFX psu, this is quite a step up from the normal 600W SFX PSUís I am used to seeing.

Still enough of a omphh to support the GPU.

Next onto the GPU, if anyone is not familiar with Zotac amp series here is what it looks like stock.

I will post some more tomorrow of the other parts that have turned up, then get onto the actual modding of the case, despite most of it being internal to support the hardware (d5 pump anyone squashed in there lol).

Thanks again to all involved.
